The IBM CSC Argentina 1 closing event was today (Friday, August 23), where all the IBM sub-teams presented our final work and results. It was a great opportunity to see our clients again and what each team has accomplished. Roman and Isa did a great job presenting the work we did with ADEC this past month. The ADEC team was incredibly kind and presented Henk, Jayan, Roman, and me with traditional Argentine mate cups as thank-you gifts.
   

We then had the first free afternoon in the 4 weeks since we arrived. I took a nap and packed; fairly certain I’ll be overweight again. We had an IBM team dinner at La Nieta, a favorite spot, and then headed to Antares for a drink. Here are the IBM CSC Argentina 1 team girls on the last night, me, Gina, Tarja, and Tina. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Dinner was a lot of fun, but also bittersweet. I am looking forward to going home, but will miss spending time with the IBM team. The CSC is really a once in a lifetime experience; our team of 12 will never be together in once place again. I could not have imagined that I would make such good friends in only one month. I am lucky that I will at least get to see Henk and Edwin again in the near future during my travels to Taiwan and Australia!

Side note: I get a knock on my door Thursday. Look at what my wonderful husband sent me! Flowers and chocolates (no nuts).

P.S. Happy Birthday Erin!
